Helpful Hints For Obtaining Technical Assistance:

Before you contact IBM Software Support, gather the background information that you need to describe the problem. When you describe a problem to an IBM software support specialist, be as specific as possible and include all relevant background information so that the specialist can help you solve the problem efficiently. To save time, know the answers to these questions:

What software versions were you running when the problem occurred?

Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?

Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps do you take to reproduce it?

Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.

A new installer prompt verifies whether you want the 'zdt' user ID to be automatically created to run the server process. If you select no on the prompt, specify the existing user ID that you want to use to run the web server process. An upgrade from a previous version automatically sets the user ID to 'zdt'.

The startServer and stopServer scripts are renamed to startServer.sh and stopServer.sh. The scripts do not require root credentials. However, if you want to run the scripts, you must have the authority to switch to the user ID that runs the server process.

Enhancements for the Enterprise Edition web interface

Support for extracting and transferring multiple volumes simultaneously is added.

Support for stopping and resuming application image creation is added to the Monitor page.

Support for retrieving the diagnostic log files for failed application image creation is added to the Monitor page.

System administration actions that occur during the deployment process can be customized on the target environment configuration page.

RESTful APIs can be used to automate the creation and deployment of z/OS environments. The process can be done by using the data from an existing mainframe, an ADCD installation, or an existing zD&T environment.

Sudo permission is supported. zD&T can be deployed to a target environment by using a non-root user ID.

Deploying a new instance to a target environment no longer stops firewalld on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v7.x. The following ports are opened by the deployment to ensure communication to Linux and z/OS: 22, 1947, 2022, 3270, 9450, 9451.

During the deployment process, the single quote characters in the devmap are now properly escaped to ensure that the content is transferred to the target Linux system correctly.

The comments in the devmap file that are supplied to IMPORT existing content page are now handled properly to ensure that all volume files defined in the devmap are transferred to the FTP server.
